San Francisco Printed for William Andrews Clark Jr. by John Nash 1924 In-4, pp. XLI, 25 lettere fuori testo in facsimile di Wilde a Douglas e una di Douglas a Wilde, insieme ad altre trascrizioni e a un saggio didattico di A.S.W. Rosenbach, prefazione bibliografica di William Andrews Clark, un ritratto fotografico di Douglas in antiporta. Legatura in mezza pergamena con titolo in oro al dorso in custodia. Esemplare in barbe su carta fatta a mano. Tiratura di 225 esemplari numerati, il nostro il n. 62. Pubblicato privatamente da William Andrews Clark, Jr., nel 1924 come regalo personale ad amici e colleghi, questo volume estremamente raro di sole 225 copie su carta fatta a mano venne stampato a San Francisco dall'importante editore John Henry Nash. William Andrews Clark, Jr. (1877-1934), figlio del senatore William Andrews Clark quando morì nel 1934, lasciò in eredità la sua vasta biblioteca di libri e manoscritti rari che andarono a costituire la William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, all'Università della California. La biblioteca conserva circa 110.000 libri e 22.000 manoscritti, una delle collezioni più estese di letteratura britannica del XVII e XVIII secolo tra cui la collezione più completa al mondo di Oscar Wilde, compresi i suoi libri, manoscritti, fotografie, ritratti originali e caricature. Clark originariamente acquistò i manoscritti di Wilde dal figlio di Wilde, Vyvyan Holland. La maggior parte degli importanti studi di Wilde negli ultimi anni hanno attinto alle risorse di Clark. Interessante raccolta di lettere di uno dei più grandi scrittori in lingua inglese al suo "caro ragazzo". Wilde fu processato e condannato a due anni di lavori forzati per "grave indecenza" - in altre parole per la sua omosessualità. Il suo rifiuto di rinunciare al suo orientamento sessuale e il suo amore per Lord Alfred Douglas ("Bosie") lo hanno reso prima un martire della società inglese e poi un'icona dell'amore libero.
London : Privately printed, 1901 In-4, (2)-32 feuillets. Cartonnage de l'éditeur, jaquette imprimée (un peu passée).
L'un de 300 exemplaires, le nôtre n° 247 sur "antique paper". Le poème est imprimé au recto des feuillets, le verso illustré alternativement par une tête de sphinx ou un Christ en croix. Edition limitée d'un poème méconnu de Wilde. La production poétique d’Oscar Wilde a été presqu’entièrement éclipsée par l'attention considérable portée à ses drames, à son roman Le Portrait de Dorian Gray et à ses contes. Ses essais eux-mêmes ont davantage stimulé la recherche universitaire que sa poésie érudite et chargée de mythologie, et en particulier, son obscur poème Le Sphinx.Le sphinx, comme le vampire et d’autres créatures chimériques, compte parmi les motifs récurrents de la littérature et de l'art du XIXe siècle, inventés pour transgresser les conceptions victoriennes de la raison et du décorum. Ce poème de Wilde mérite de se voir accorder une place nettement plus importante, si ce n'est une position clé, dans l'œuvre de l'écrivain. Le poème, agrémenté d’illustrations art-nouveau de Charles Ricketts et d’une dédicace au poète symboliste français Marcel Schwob, fut publié en 1894, tout juste un an avant la chute du dandy Wilde. Le tirage très restreint de l’ouvrage souligne que Wilde le concevait comme un joyau littéraire destiné à d’heureux privilégiés et non aux yeux vulgaires, volonté que respecte l’édition limitée de 1901. Ce poème présente des affinités frappantes avec "Le Corbeau" de Poe : tous deux prennent la forme du monologue d'un étudiant hypersensible, soudain exposé à l'irruption du fantastique et de l’étrange dans son monde clos. Mais alors que le personnage de Poe dans "Le Corbeau" est essentiellement préoccupé par des questions d’ordre métaphysique, celui de Wilde se trouve confronté au sphinx comme un défi sexuel immobile et silencieux. Le sphinx, symbole de la beauté parfaite et de l’éternelle jeunesse, permet au poète d’annuler les distances temporelles et de fusionner, dans un même corps fantasmé, la femme et l'animal.Voir l'article de Norbert Lennartz, Oscar Wilde's "The Sphinx" -- a dramatic monologue of the dandy as a young man ?, 2004.
[No place], 1869. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers, no backstrip. Offprint from the ""Philosophical Magazine"", January 1869. With authors presentation inscription to front wrapper: ""With the author's Compliments."". Fine and clean. 9 pp.
Offprint issue with author's presentation insciption to front wrapper of Wilde's paper on how to control and render the magneto-electri current which nearly led to the discovery of the principle of self-excitation. This was, however, achieved by other inventors first, notably Charles Wheatstone and the Siemens brothers.""In 1856 Wilde established a business in Manchester as an electric-telegraph and lightning-conductor engineer, and spent some years on the development of a magneto-electric alphabetic telegraph, which was demonstrated at the international exhibition in London in 1862. In December 1863 he patented a twin-armature machine in which a magneto-electric generator provided excitation current for the field winding of another generator. These machines were made in quantity by Wilde & Co., but in use they had the disadvantage of becoming very hot. In 1867 [Described in the present paper]. he patented an entirely different type of multipolar machine, which was used for electro-deposition and arc lighting. Among his other patents was one in 1875 for the making of copper rollers for calico printing."". (Oxford DNB). Henry Wilde (1833 - 1919) was a wealthy individual from Manchester, England who used his self-made fortune to indulge his interest in electrical engineering. He invented the dynamo-electric machine, or self-energising dynamo, an invention for which Werner von Siemens is more usually credited and, in fact, discovered independently. At any rate, Wilde was the first to publish, his paper was communicated to the Royal Society by Michael Faraday in 1866. The self-energising dynamo replaces the permanent magnets of previous designs with electro-magnets and in so doing achieved an enormous increase in power. The machine was considered remarkable at the time, especially since Wilde was fond of spectacular demonstrations, such as the ability of his machine to cause iron bars to melt.
